In addition to our outdoor and indoor pool with whirlpool, we offer you two new wellness areas with several Finnish and bio saunas, as well as two steam baths and an infrared cabin & infrared loungers under the motto "Ludwig meets Buddha".

On the approach to our sunny plateau (860 m) you are greeted by the Alpsee. A footpath behind the hotel leads to the Buchenegg waterfalls. And the biggest adventure playground awaits in front of it. The Alps.

Great breakfast buffet, 4-course menu of your choice and snack time or BBQ on the sun terrace every afternoon.

Welcome to the 4*-Superior Ludwig Royal.

The right mix makes the difference. We are convinced of this at the Jesacherhof. That's why we offer you a little bit of everything - but only the very best! You can expect excellent wellness for families, couples and singles, award-winning cuisine and a variety of active experiences for young and old in one of the most unspoilt valleys - in Defereggen Valley!

At the Jesacherhof, everything revolves around the elemental power of the Alps. Whether in the form of fresh ingredients and traditional dishes, active relaxation in the mountains or the fossil healing waters for which Defereggen is famous. Nature forms the foundation of our concept. The result: an incredibly relaxing, exciting and eventful vacation for the whole family.

The excellent location - right next to the ski slope and the gondola lift, on the cross-country ski trails, in the middle of a hiking paradise - is a perfect starting point in summer and winter.

The 4 stars at the Alpinhotel Jesacherhof are no coincidence. Each star represents an area: Gourmet, Spa, Active and Family and the s for the first-class service offered to you.

Its secluded location at 700 meters provides the necessary distance from everyday life. Up here, surrounded by meadows and forests and a few scattered old farms, the clocks go slower. It's as if the good old days are hiding up here. You can forget the hustle and bustle and stress, they don't come up here. The Watzmann outside shows us how it's done - calmly reminding us of what's really important in life: Taking time for yourself and your loved ones. "The best times in life are the little moments when you feel that you are in the right place at the right time," is the Alpenhof motto.

At the 4-star superior hotel, you are always in the right place. This starts with the hut-style reception. Of course, the hotel has modern card keys, but there are still a few of the beautiful old key rings with the family crest hanging on the hooks. Tradition combined with modern comfort is how you could describe the style of the Alpenhof. This can also be seen in the Almbar, which has much of what is commonly understood by Bavarian coziness. The restaurant area is more elegant. Here you can enjoy the sumptuous breakfast buffet and the magnificent view outside. In the evening, there are various menus to choose from.

The comfort rooms are designed in a variety of ways, sometimes in a modern, sometimes in a classic country house style. The feel-good Sauna-Alm is really rustic, as the sauna area is reminiscent of cozy alpine huts and Stad'l. The infrared cabin made of Swiss stone pine provides gentle deep warmth, the steam bath is filled with wonderful brine and herbal mist and perhaps the best thing to do after a sauna session in the Hütt'n sauna with a view of the valley in winter is to rub yourself down with powder snow in the sheltered outdoor area. Afterwards, you can retreat to the relaxation rooms, which are designed like tunnels in a salt mine or old barns, where you can relax wonderfully. The adjoining wellness oasis offers an all-round pampering program. The various massages and treatments provide true wellness pleasure. In addition to classic massages, there are Far Eastern SPA massages, Ayurveda massages and special massages for expectant mothers. The cosmetics department uses the organic cosmetics line from Dr. Spiller, an effective skincare line from the region.

Next door in the indoor pool, you should definitely take a leisurely lap on your back and take a look at the hand-carved wooden ceiling. This ancient carpentry technique is no longer found very often. Small carvings on the pillars look very elegant - which is typical of the Alpenhof. Tradition meets modernity and rustic meets elegant. In the outdoor pool, hot meets cold, at least when it's winter and you can swim through the snow-covered landscape. The outdoor pool is heated to a pleasant 30°C all year round, as is the pleasantly warm 37°C whirlpool.

Afterwards, you can lie down in the sun pavilion, look out over the meadows and forests to the mountain peaks and relax. Here, unwinding becomes a tangible reality. And if you haven't had enough exercise while hiking, you're sure to find it in the fitness room with Techno-Gym equipment. Behind the Alpenhof is the Zapletal family. While Stefan Zapletal looks after the hotel with its 52 rooms, his wife Gabi, a trained chef, is in charge of the kitchen. But the most important thing for both of them is their staff. "We provide the frame, our employees paint the picture," says Stefan Zapletal, who is happy to have such a strong team. After all, guests should simply feel at home in this beautiful hotel in the midst of glorious nature.
